Determining fresh-saltwater distribution is therefore necessary for authorities to have fundament to release policies and solutions timely to prevent this issue. Based on samples analyzing data, 3 regression equations of each couple of the conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and chloride concentration were formulated and displayed on graphs, these can be applied to calculate TDS from available conductivity or chloride concentration values in any areas. Calculating all input data, a variogram was created, which indicates the spatial correlation between sampling points. Then, Kriging interpolation was applied in map-making process. Finally the spatial distribution of fresh and saltwater was delineated. Freshwater districts are located in the southern part of the Nam Dinh province and a small area in the north.Text/Conference Paper
